A professor involved with handing in hoax papers — with topics ranging from rape culture in dog parks to rewriting a feminist version of a portion of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” — to leading social science journals says his university in Oregon is trying to punish him.

Portland State University (PSU) assistant philosophy professor Peter Boghossian is being investigated for falsifying data, according to a YouTube video released by Mike Nayna on Saturday.

“The matter has been escalated to PSU’s President & Provost for disciplinary action,” according to the YouTube video.

Boghossian along with mathematician James Lindsey and Areo Magazine editor Helen Pluckrose sent 20 papers under aliases to social science journals to show the reality of “grievance studies.” Grievance studies is a coined term for academic fields that focus on identity related oppression and power imbalances. Such fields include “critical theory,” “gender studies” and “identity studies.”

Boghossian was asked to meet with the university’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) Chair Jack Barbera on Oct. 18, 2018, according to the YouTube video. The meeting was about whether certain protocols were reviewed prior to the hoax studies.
